Why ExtExcape return 0 (not supported) woth adobe Acrobat 6 though return 1 with version 5?

I posted a question earlier to ask how to remove "save pdf File as" dialog.
It turned out that the ExtEscape function not working right and return 0 with adobe acrobat 6 even though the same code return 1 (success) with adobe acrobat 5.
"The return value is zero if the escape is not implemented."
I did a complete adobe acrobat 6 install. How did this could happen?
I am using an older version of pdfwctrl.h with copyright Copyright 1994 - 2001.
Please help.
Here is the code
static int PDFWriterInit(
HDC hDC,
const _TCHAR *pOutputFileName
PDFINPUT pdfInput;
PDFDocInfo pdfdocinfo;
ZeroMemory(&pdfdocinfo, sizeof pdfdocinfo);
TCharToSingleByte(pOutputFileName, pdfInput.outputfilename,
sizeof pdfInput.outputfilename / sizeof pdfInput.outputfilename[0]);
strcpy(pdfdocinfo.title, "my_title");
strcpy(pdfdocinfo.author, "my_author");
strcpy(pdfdocinfo.subject, "my_subject");
strcpy(pdfdocinfo.keywords, "my_keywords");
// Although it is possible to set the following fields, we do not suggest that
// you do so. If you leave these blank PDF Writer will fill in appropriate values.
// If you set the date yourself and it does not meet the PDF specification it may
// cause trouble for readers of the PDF. PDFWriter will set the appropriate date
// using the system clock, use the application name from the DOCINFO struct and
// set itself as the producer
#if 0
strcpy(pdfdocinfo.creationDate, "my_date");
strcpy(pdfdocinfo.creator, "my_creator");
strcpy(pdfdocinfo.producer, "my_producer");
strcpy(pdfdocinfo.modDate, "my_modDate");
#endif
pdfInput.docinfo = pdfdocinfo;
if (ExtEscape(hDC, PDFFILENAME, sizeof pdfInput,
(LPSTR)&pdfInput, 0, NULL) < 0)
return -1;
return 0;

Did the update info come from Adobe? In any case, you might try a repair (not sure how that is done on a MAC. You can also download updates from Adobe at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh.

  • Why can I not print web pages or Yahoo Email with version 4

    After uploading Firefox 4.0 several months ago, I am not able to print my Yahoo Email or other web pages.

    Jon,
    Unfortunately, Rave's response is quite incorrect on two major points.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance was indeed part of the Macintosh version of Acrobat Pro until a few years ago.
    However, it was NOT Adobe that killed the feature. Apple did! In one of the MacOS updates, Apple fully removed the capability that Adobe had to support this virtual printer. There was nothing that Adobe could do about this, regrettably. Adobe didn't cripple anything. Complain to Apple!
    However, Adobe does provide a replacement for it that will yield similar results, but it is not available in Acrobat or Adobe Reader!!! In most applications' print dialogs (such as Word) - which printer you select is irrelevant, click on the PDF button and select the Save as Adobe PDF option. This will save your document as a PDF file with Adobe technology. But again, this is not available from with Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    However, you should note that the process that you previously followed and you would like to continue to use is commonly referred to as “refrying a PDF” and is strongly discouraged even where it continues to work under Windows. Why? The print function of Adobe applications including Acrobat and Reader is optimized for PostScript for printing, not for creation of PDF. Resultant PDF files have lost any transparency (it has been flattened) and all color management has been lost.
    What you are really trying to do is to create a pre-imposed PDF file from an existing PDF file. Going through PostScript was and still is a very bad idea.
    There are some third party plug-ins to Acrobat, such as Quite Imposing (Quite Software, <http://www.quite.com>) and PDF Snake (<http://www.pdfsnake.com>) as well as some “free” (you get what you pay for) solutions you can look up on the web that can do PDF imposition without ruining your PDF via PostScript.
    Hopefully this can assist you.

  • Why cannot I distribute forms in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (when following directions)?

    Why cannot I distribute forms in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (when following directions)?

    Hello,
    When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
    Please try to do one of the following solutions:
    * Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
    *Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
    But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
    Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
    Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
    Acrobat
    Adobe PCD
    Adobe PDF
         Important: Do not delete these folders.
      4.  Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
      5.  Enter your serial number when prompted.
    Hope this one could help.

  • Excell spreadsheet Telephone numbers not recognised in Adobe Acrobat DC [iOS]

    Before my upgrade to Adobe Acrobat DC on my iPhone, telephone numbers in a excel spread sheet was recognized by Acrobat Reader as such i.e. You would touch and hold the number, then a 'pop up' would appear that gave the option to 'CALL' or 'SEND A MESSAGE'. This function no longer works in Adobe Acrobat DC, why not?

  • Why does Mail not support read receipts?

    I find it hard to believe that there is a single email application that doesn't support read receipts. For me it is a fairly basic feature I would expect any decent Mail application to have.
    I am currently in the process of writing an email to a company and I want to make sure they get it - a read receipt is how I want to verify that they've had it. Why does Mail not support this?
    If I am going to have to accept that Mail is not the first class application Apple keeps parading around - is there an alternative that offers this and other features I would expect to find in Microsoft Outlook (minus the calendar etc...)?

    Outlook uses a Microsoft-proprietary system for "read receipts", so there may be no way Apple could implement it, or there may be licensing fees involved, or Apple may just not feel that it's worth spending the money to implement. Outlook which is designed to work primarily with an Exchange server, so it's in Microsoft's interest to support Exchange features (note that even Microsoft in their own Mac app do not support all the features theydo on Windows).
    You can express your interest in this feature to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    but support for return receipts in any system other than Exchange is very unlikely, since as Matt said it is not part of the Internet email specification and hence not widely supported at all.
    Regards.

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default

    A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Multi Touch not supported in Adobe Air for IOS?

    Hi, I've just started developing my first app for my iPhone which is an iPhone 3GS. I'm using CS5 to make these apps.
    I did a simple test game where there are two arrows on the screen and a fire button. The screen also has a ground and the player standing on it which can be controlled with left/right and fire. Now, if I press right, he moves right, if I press left, he moves left, if I press fire, he jumps... BUT no matter what I do I can't make dual touch work, ie: I press right AND fire, it only recognize just ONE touch point. So I did alot of researching and didn't find much.  I thought maybe adding a TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP which I found a guide on on this page: http://openexhibits.org/support/gestures/1/one-finger-tap , but couldn't make it work, so I found this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/multitouch_gestures.html and it seems Adobe Air for iPhone only allows four different gestures, no TouchEvents. I found a code somewhere that when run it checks to see if the device it's running on supports TOUCH_TAP stuff and in CS5 I got the message that it is not supported, in Adobe Device Central I get it's supported, on the actual phone (yes, got dev license from Apple and all that and can run my apps from CS5 on my iphone) I get it IS supported, but it doesn't work when I try it for real.
    So, my question is: how can I make Adobe Air using CS5 to detect 2 finger presses at the same time in iPhone apps?  Like pressing right+fire at the same time, so it doesn't just detect ONE of them being pressed.
    Thanks a million for any reply.

    Before listening for TouchEvents like TOUCH_BEGIN, TOUCH_MOVE, TOUCH_END etc... you need to set the input mode of your device to TOUCH_POINT. By default it is set to GESTURE.
    This works fine on the iPAD:
    import flash.ui.Multitouch;
    import flash.ui.MultitouchInputMode;
    Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
    stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, touchBegin);
    stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, touchMove);
    stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, touchEnd);
    private function touchBegin(te:TouchEvent):void {
        // your code here
    private function touchMove(te:TouchEvent):void {
        // your code here
    private function touchEnd(te:TouchEvent):void {
        // your code here
    Hope that helps.

    Hi joej49728017,
    I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist.
    Please refer to the following KB doc.  Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    The above link will help you to  install a special version that does not require activation.
